Body Wisdom Academy — Advisory Session
You've done the work.
You've read the books.
Something still
hasn't shifted.
That's not a character flaw. That's what happens when healing stays in the mind instead of going into the body. This call changes that.
"I healed more in three months than in the past ten years. After decades of therapy, I was still suffering daily. This got to the root."
— BWA Graduate

Advisory Session · 30 Min · Free
What to Expect
What actually happens on this call
Focused entirely on you. Not a presentation about us — a real look at your specific situation and what's actually keeping you stuck.
We get to the root. The patterns that keep showing up no matter what you've tried, the loops that understanding alone hasn't broken.
Complete honesty. If Subtle Body Work is the right fit, we'll tell you. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too. Real. Unhurried. Honest.
You leave with clarity. On your next step — whether that's working with us or not. Individual support and full certification training both available.
What Clients Say
Real people. Real results.
I healed more in three months than in the past ten years. After decades of therapy and tens of thousands of dollars on other techniques, I was still suffering daily. This got to the actual root.
BWA Graduate
I became more connected to my body and suddenly stopped swimming around in my head in repetitive mind stories. In a matter of weeks I found my own apartment — a change I was starting to believe would never come.
Ingrid A.
No one has ever been able to tell me HOW to let something go. With Leslie's teachings there is finally a way to actually find it, get down to it, and remove it. I am so grateful.
Lyla A.
It feels like returning home. Every time I do a module I feel like I'm having a love affair. I'm a healer with years of client work — and I'm already using these tools with my own clients.

The Method & The Woman Behind It
Leslie Huddart, L.Ac.
Subtle Body Expert · Spiritual Guide · Natural Health Clinician
Leslie has over 20 years of clinical experience in natural health and holds a degree in acupuncture and Asian medicine from the top-rated school in the country. She has studied with spiritual masters from and around Japan, India, Thailand, and Tibet — and has helped thousands of women release trauma at the root level without years of therapy.
She developed a proprietary 9-Gateway Subtle Body Healing System that works beyond the mind, liberating stored patterns in the body that talk therapy alone cannot reach.
A Note From Our Managing Director
Meet Marika
Managing Director · Coach Practitioner · Subtle Body Guide · Leslie's Direct Mentee, 5+ Years
I came to this work the same way you probably did. Years of therapy, certifications, self-inquiry. I understood my patterns in embarrassing detail. And I was still stuck.
What changed wasn't more information. It was working at the level of the subtle body — where the patterns actually live. Things I'd intellectually understood for years finally started to move.
The Advisory Session isn't a pitch. It's a real conversation about where you are and what's actually in the way. I want you to leave with clarity — whether you work with us or not.
Is This For You
This call is right for you if...
- You've already done significant healing work — therapy, somatic work, energy healing — and something still hasn't resolved at the root.
- You understand your patterns intellectually but can't seem to make them stop.
- You feel like you're almost there — but keep looping back to the same place.
- You're a healer, empath, or sensitive person ready to stop processing and start actually being free.
- Something in you has quietly been saying this might be different — and you're finally ready to find out.
- You're not sure if this is for you. That uncertainty is exactly what the call is designed for. Book it anyway.
Ready? Choose Your Time.
Still thinking about it?
That's the pattern.
30 minutes. Free. The conversation that finally moves what hasn't moved.
You'll be asked a few short questions when you book. This helps us prepare and make sure the conversation is genuinely useful for you. If you're unsure whether you qualify — book and answer honestly. We'll let you know.
Healing Truths

How to Use Sage | Natural Health
Sage in Spiritual Traditions & Modern Research
Sage is one of my favorite space clearing tools. The practice of burning sage (and sometimes other medicinal herbs like sweetgrass ) can be referred to as "smudging" and is a great way to calm the mind as well as clear & refresh your space.
Smudging comes from Native American healing traditions, but many world traditions incorporate the burning of sacred herbs into ceremony and daily life. For example, herbs & offerings to the fire are a mainstay of many Hindu ceremonies, Buddhist traditions often incorporate incense and traditional catholic mass makes use of frankincense.
Modern medical research has also confirmed that burning medicinal herbs has a purifying effect on the air, in one study, eliminating 94% of bacteria counts for up to 24 hours in an enclosed room.
Smudging has been growing in popularity and even got a feature in Oprah magazine, although in the mainstream, the focus is purely on the scientific and not this practice's spiritual and energetic roots.
The Energetic Level of Sage
On an energetic level, burning sage helps to clear your field of the kind of unhelpful energy that we can sometimes pick up from other people, environments, or charged situations.
Understanding how astral or unseen energy works, how it can benefit and cause us trouble was once only the secret domain of shamans and traditional healers.
As a spiritual guide and licensed acupuncturist, I find it is very useful to give people a practical understanding of this realm of reality, how it works, and how you can deal with any issues that can arise where unhelpful energy is concerned.
Graduates of my self-mastery training, The Body Wisdom Academy (BWA), learn the ins and outs of how to keep themselves and their loved ones free of any unhelpful energy that could cause them trouble.
Here's an experience one graduate shared with me after visiting a war memorial:
Here are three ways to incorporate sage into your life for a more peaceful mind and environment.
3 WAYS TO USE SAGE
1. Use Sage to Transition from Work to Home Life
It can be tough to be out in the hustle and bustle of the outside world all day, especially if you are a more energetically sensitive person.
Burning sage as a centering ritual after you arrive home will help you energetically and mentally transition into a restful time at home. This practice will also encourage you to leave work agendas behind you at work so you can focus on your own self care, your family life and relationships.
2. Sage for Anxiety & Depression
One thing that my patients are often surprised and relieved to understand is that taking on energy that is not our own is a fairly common contributor to feelings of anxiousness or depression. Now, there are many biological, nutritional as well as psycho-spiritual causes that affect our moods so I am not insinuating that unhelpful energy is the sole cause of anxiety or depression.
What I've found as a clinician over the past decade is that there are often subtle body issues at play with most cases of persistent anxiety and depression. One of these issues that can be remedied by smudging is that of unhelpful energy that one has often unknowingly "picked up."
If this is the case for you, you'll feel a deeper sense of calm or lightness after smudging, or a greater sense of ease or relief.
If you'd like to learn how to heal your anxiety from the inside our without decades of therapy, you can discover your particular "Anxiety Type" as well as the herbs & supplements that will work best for you in my "Healing Anxiety Naturally" Course which you can access on my classes & trainings page.
3. Sage for Better Sleep
Where as our ancestors were naturally winding down their day with the setting sun, our modern conveniences allow our busy minds to stay active and on our electronic devices well up to bedtime.
This busy pace often makes it hard to sleep, and when sleep patterns get off balance, everything get's worse.
Smudging as a part of your evening bedtime ritual can be helpful in clearing your mind and transitioning towards sleep.
Here's a routine to try for 7 days straight to see how your mind, mood and sleep improve:
7 Day Smudging Routine for Better Sleep
This routine will be particularly helpful for you if a "racing mind" and trouble turning off your thoughts is a particularly strong contributing factor in your sleep issues.
I recommend first ending whatever you have to do on your phone or devices then putting them in airplane mode so that you are reducing the amount of electromagnetic fields that are around you while you sleep at night.
Perform your personal care rituals like teeth brushing, face washing and put on your pj's so you're ready for bed.
In a quiet space, ideally, your personal altar or meditation space, light the sage with a candle until there is a decent amount of smoke.
Use one hand to waft the smoke towards your body, moving the sage past the lower and upper parts of your body (the order and direction are not particularly important).
As best you can, include the space behind your body with the sage smoke, being mindful of fire safety.
Imagine that all of the outside thoughts and events of the day are being carried away with the smoke. Set your intention that you are giving back anything that you've taken on that is not yours, and you are calling back any of your energy that you may have given away inappropriately.
Take three to five deep and easy breaths, and feel a sense of gratitude for yourself for taking this time for yourself.
Extinguish the sage either in some sand in an abalone shell (traditionally used) or in a small cup of dried rice, sand, or small beans to snuff out the flame.
Head to bed and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep!
You are a soul with a body and I'm wishing you great things!

Modern medical research has also confirmed that burning medicinal herbs has a purifying effect on the air, in one study, eliminating 94% of bacteria counts for up to 24 hours in an enclosed room.
Smudging has been growing in popularity and even got a feature in Oprah magazine, although in the mainstream, the focus is purely on the scientific and not this practice's spiritual and energetic roots.
The Energetic Level of Sage
On an energetic level, burning sage helps to clear your field of the kind of unhelpful energy that we can sometimes pick up from other people, environments, or charged situations.
Understanding how astral or unseen energy works, how it can benefit and cause us trouble was once only the secret domain of shamans and traditional healers.
As a spiritual guide and licensed acupuncturist, I find it is very useful to give people a practical understanding of this realm of reality, how it works, and how you can deal with any issues that can arise where unhelpful energy is concerned.
Graduates of my self-mastery training, The Body Wisdom Academy (BWA), learn the ins and outs of how to keep themselves and their loved ones free of any unhelpful energy that could cause them trouble.
Here's an experience one graduate shared with me after visiting a war memorial:
Here are three ways to incorporate sage into your life for a more peaceful mind and environment.
3 WAYS TO USE SAGE
1. Use Sage to Transition from Work to Home Life
It can be tough to be out in the hustle and bustle of the outside world all day, especially if you are a more energetically sensitive person.
Burning sage as a centering ritual after you arrive home will help you energetically and mentally transition into a restful time at home. This practice will also encourage you to leave work agendas behind you at work so you can focus on your own self care, your family life and relationships.
2. Sage for Anxiety & Depression
One thing that my patients are often surprised and relieved to understand is that taking on energy that is not our own is a fairly common contributor to feelings of anxiousness or depression. Now, there are many biological, nutritional as well as psycho-spiritual causes that affect our moods so I am not insinuating that unhelpful energy is the sole cause of anxiety or depression.
What I've found as a clinician over the past decade is that there are often subtle body issues at play with most cases of persistent anxiety and depression. One of these issues that can be remedied by smudging is that of unhelpful energy that one has often unknowingly "picked up."
If this is the case for you, you'll feel a deeper sense of calm or lightness after smudging, or a greater sense of ease or relief.
If you'd like to learn how to heal your anxiety from the inside our without decades of therapy, you can discover your particular "Anxiety Type" as well as the herbs & supplements that will work best for you in my "Healing Anxiety Naturally" Course which you can access on my classes & trainings page.
3. Sage for Better Sleep
Where as our ancestors were naturally winding down their day with the setting sun, our modern conveniences allow our busy minds to stay active and on our electronic devices well up to bedtime.
This busy pace often makes it hard to sleep, and when sleep patterns get off balance, everything get's worse.
Smudging as a part of your evening bedtime ritual can be helpful in clearing your mind and transitioning towards sleep.
Here's a routine to try for 7 days straight to see how your mind, mood and sleep improve:
7 Day Smudging Routine for Better Sleep
This routine will be particularly helpful for you if a "racing mind" and trouble turning off your thoughts is a particularly strong contributing factor in your sleep issues.
I recommend first ending whatever you have to do on your phone or devices then putting them in airplane mode so that you are reducing the amount of electromagnetic fields that are around you while you sleep at night.
Perform your personal care rituals like teeth brushing, face washing and put on your pj's so you're ready for bed.
In a quiet space, ideally, your personal altar or meditation space, light the sage with a candle until there is a decent amount of smoke.
Use one hand to waft the smoke towards your body, moving the sage past the lower and upper parts of your body (the order and direction are not particularly important).
As best you can, include the space behind your body with the sage smoke, being mindful of fire safety.
Imagine that all of the outside thoughts and events of the day are being carried away with the smoke. Set your intention that you are giving back anything that you've taken on that is not yours, and you are calling back any of your energy that you may have given away inappropriately.
Take three to five deep and easy breaths, and feel a sense of gratitude for yourself for taking this time for yourself.
Extinguish the sage either in some sand in an abalone shell (traditionally used) or in a small cup of dried rice, sand, or small beans to snuff out the flame.
Head to bed and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep!
You are a soul with a body and I'm wishing you great things!

Sage in Spiritual Traditions & Modern Research
Sage is one of my favorite space clearing tools. The practice of burning sage (and sometimes other medicinal herbs like sweetgrass ) can be referred to as "smudging" and is a great way to calm the mind as well as clear & refresh your space.
Smudging comes from Native American healing traditions, but many world traditions incorporate the burning of sacred herbs into ceremony and daily life. For example, herbs & offerings to the fire are a mainstay of many Hindu ceremonies, Buddhist traditions often incorporate incense and traditional catholic mass makes use of frankincense.
